As published earlier , we at Vigyan ashram , conducting trial on Aquaponics (RAS) system with Grass carp fish. At present our system is of 5 months old (loaded with 2 Gm grass carp fingerlings in September 2017) and its running quite smooth. The bio-beds are flushed with Tomatoes , Alo leaves and polyhouse with rose plantation. Grass carps also showing fair growth rate with 30 to 450 Gm fish weight in last 5 months. Fish is fed with Azolla / Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) and floating pallets (40:40:10 ratio). The weight (growth) variation probably due to higher stocking density (1000+ fingerlings in 50000 lit fish tank). We are thinking to do thinning of fish for getting marketable fish in next 3-4 months (By end of June 2018)

In Sugarcane farming, it is difficult for farmers to work within sugarcane field due to sharp edges of sugarcane leaves. Sharp leaves results in cuts on the face and potential damages eyes. This problem is severe when sugarcane crop grows up and farmers have to enter the filed for watering, spraying fertilizers. A safety cap is designed by Chetan Kadam (VA DIC student) realizing his own problem while doing farming at his native place. For information of such simple yet useful innovation please visit DIC @ vigyan ashram.

A novel incineration device has been developed that uses pyrolysis to decompose sanitary napkins into hydrocarbon vapours and combustible gases along with some non-combustible gases and char. These vapours and gases are made to pass over high temperature electric coils (>500 degC) where they auto-ignite in the presence of oxygen. The heat from the flames partially drives the pyrolysis of remaining sanitary pads. A smoke stack thermocouple sensor feeds back values to a PID controller implemented through a microcontroller to maintain proper pyrolysis and combustion conditions that result in a transparent flue gas exiting from the chimney.

Features :

It completely incinerates 5–20 used sanitary napkins in less than 30 min.

A provisional patent has been filed.

Unit is successfully lab tested for 500+ pads as lab trial. It is installed in ladies hostel for field testing.

Technology is transferred to M/S Climber Enviro Solutions
LLP for commercialization of this technology.

We are getting lot on inquiries for more detailing on building hydroponics fodder unit. Please find attached bellow details in this regard. For any further details you can contact us on given details. Thanks
